Twitch

My coworkers and I have a lot of responsibility here. I joined Twitch after working for a bigger "brand-name" type of tech company, and I have learned more in the less than 1 year I've been here than I did in more than 3 at my last job. Sometimes it can be overwhelming because there's so much surface area to cover, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to build more skills. For example, I was mostly just working on backend before, but now I do full-stack and feel more comfortable on any project.

My manager shows interest in my development and challenges me with projects outside of my comfort zone. Senior engineers on my team and other teams are always ready and willing to help me when I need them.

The business is doing well, and it's a really fun workplace with encouraging employees.

A lot of tech and practices aren't standardized across teams, so sometimes it's harder to work with other teams who don't speak the same language, so to speak.

Twitch has a lot of great engineers but isn't very active in the open source community.

Get more developers working together on common projects that we can open-source and earn more tech reputation!
